White, teach the Biblical, orthodox doctrine of the Trinity As we will see, the answer to that question is, No despite the fact that the SDA Church now uses the term Trinity. As for Ellen G. White, she was careful never to use the term in all of her published writings a remarkable feat, considering her extensive plagiarism. The reality is that Seventh day Adventism is actually anti Trinitarian and teaches Tritheism three gods, just like the Mormons do. First, here is a good description of the Christian definition of the Trinity. In Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity states that God is one being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons the Father, the Son incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth, and the Holy Spirit. Since the 4th century, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as three persons in one God, all three of whom, as distinct and co eternal persons, are of one indivisible Divine essence, a simple being. Trinity oldid1. The Biblical, orthodox doctrine of the Trinity teaches that there is only one God which is affirmed throughout the Old and New Testaments.

God is one spirit, not three spirits. He is one being, not three beings. Otherwise, we would have three gods. In the early days of Seventh day Adventism, they including their prophetess Ellen G. White taught some form of Arianism denying the eternality of Jesus Christ, denying the personality of the Holy Spirit, and teaching bitheism, or two gods the eternal Father and the non eternal Son. Eventually, the Holy Spirit got added into this Godhead as one of three living persons of the heavenly trio1 and one of the three holiest Beings in heaven2 and the current SDA teaching of Tritheism that there are three divine beings in the Godhead who are one only in purpose, character, etc. In other words, Adventisms teaching of polytheism is foundational, fundamental, and continuing and goes deep into the rootsfoundation of Adventism, which was established by their pioneers including their prophetess Ellen G.

The SDA Church gradually adopted the use of the term Trinity to describe this tritheistic view of the Godhead, eventually culminating in the official General Conference session endorsement, in 1. Trinity. 3 Beginning in 1. SDA Church finally stated although, in reality, disingenuously as well see later in their official statement of Fundamental Beliefs that Christ is eternal.

The Mormons will also use the term Trinity, as does modalist preacher T. D. Jakes. But that does not make any of them Trinitarian, any more than the Jehovahs Witnessess using the terms Jesus Christ or Son of God means that they believe in the real Jesus of the Bible. Emperor Handbook Meditation New Translation Of Bible' title='Emperor Handbook Meditation New Translation Of Bible' />They have simply redefined Christian terms and so have the Mormons, T. D. Jakes, and the Seventh day Adventists, with regard to the term Trinity. In fact, as we will see later on, even the SDA Churchs own theologiansscholars admit that Adventism teaches a different Trinity doctrine than the historical, orthodox Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Now, let us explore what Adventism teaches about this essential point of doctrine. As mentioned above, the SDA Church uses the word Trinity once as the title of belief 2 in their current official statement of 2. Fundamental Beliefs although in some instances, the statement of beliefs is published with the word Godhead substituted for the word Trinity. Here is belief number 2, as found at the official SDA website adventist. There is one God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co eternal Persons. God is immortal, all powerful, all knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. Deut. 6 4 Matt. Cor. Eph. Peter 1 2 1 Tim. Rev. 1. 4 7. http www. At first glance many may think that this statement appears to be orthodox sounding. But we must investigate further to see what they actually mean by this statement. Just as Mormons claim to believe in one God but in reality teach Tritheism, this claim by the SDAs is not enough to make them Trinitarian. The statement can make evangelical Christians believe they are orthodox, while at the same time meaning something different within Adventism. Anyone who is familiar with Adventism knows that this is exactly what they do on many different subjects they have their own, different definitions for Christian terms. PAGE 1. Before looking at further SDA sources, lets first look a little bit closer at this statement itself. Notice that it does not say that there is one God in three persons, but that the one God is a unity of three co eternal Persons capital P. Here is a hint of their teaching that God is a grouptrio of three divine Beings, which we will see more of later. At first glance, the Fundamental Belief statement may appear to at least be compatible with orthodoxy. But in fact, what it says is not very orthodox at all, and their statement is actually heretical in itself. It states, There is one God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co eternal Persons. Notice how their one God is defined as a unity of three co eternal Persons. As Christians, we dont worship a unity of three we worship one living God one indivisible simple Being who exists as three persons. They define one God as a unity group of three Persons. So even what their official statement is saying is that there is a united group or family of three Persons and this group is called God and there is only one group. In fact, in some ways their current statement of Fundamental Beliefs is less orthodox than the pre 1. Jesus is eternal. Interestingly, in 1. Jesus, where they had said that he was of the same nature and essence as the Eternal Father. Although, even that was deceptively stated even back then they didnt mean the same thing orthodox Christianity means, that God is one Being Also, since they define God as a group of three, then they are actually lying in this Fundamental Belief statement when they say that they believe that God is ever present, considering the fact that they deny that Jesus Christ is omnipresent click here to jump down to the section Denial of Christs Omnipresence.
